30. Valentina Gremory

After her daughter was born everything was smooth. Due to Rias's presence, her status had risen.

Both Zeoticus and Sirzechs doted on Rias, and due to Sirzechs caring about her daughter so much, the weight in her heart regarding her children being the next heir to the Gremory house was erased. 

Maybe it was due to Rias's birth but she didn't hate Venelana as much as before, but she still was weary of her. Right now she wanted her Riri to be the one to inherit the Gremory territory. 

She may not love Zeoticus but she loved her daughter. 

It had been years since she had seen her mother, and she missed her dearly. She wondered if her mother was still alive as it had been centuries since she went missing. 

Even if she knew deep in her heart that it was very unlikely that her mother was still alive she still wished she would be safe and sound. 

But if Venelana were to know of her predicament then she would say ..... Karma is a bitch...

{ She is a bad woman but a good mother. She has a bitchy character. }

....

Elizabeth Bael the first wife of Zekram Bael and the mother of Valentina Bael, also the tormentor of Venelana and her mother Vene. 

She had mysteriously disappeared a few centuries ago when she was on a visit to the human world.

It was reported that she went missing somewhere in Scandinavia and due to the influence of the Norse faction being quite strong there, the devils couldn't do a thorough search and the apparent disinterest of Zekram towards the disappearance of his wife was also the reason why there was never an investigation.

Hey if the Husband of the woman doesn't care then why would the others bother getting themselves involved in this troublesome matter that would get them no benefits.

Thus there was no investigation into the mysterious disappearance of Elizabeth Bael and after a long time, everyone forgot about her. 

Except for two people..... Valentina Bael and Venelana Bael both had vastly different reasons for remembering the same person.

.....

Venelana was holding a humanoid skull in her hands as she stroked its surface tenderly while she had a nostalgic look in her eyes. 

" It's truly a pity that I couldn't send your husband over to meet you ~, Unfortunately, your daughter wasn't responsible for Celestina's death, I really did want to send her over to you ~ Because a mother and child should always be together right ~ " Venelana said with smile while stroking the surface of the skull. 

The skull she held in her arms was of the person Elizabeth Bael who was presumed to be missing. 

As for the reason?.... It was just simple revenge. For her mother and her best friend Celestina Belphagor. 

There were two people in her life that she felt guilty about, one was her son Vivian and the other was her first friend who was more like an elder sister to her, Celestina from the Belphagor family.

{ I really don't know how old Roygun Belphegor is, so imma make her a few centuries old, maybe older than Sirzechs, cuz there really isn't much mentioned about her in the wikis, other than the fact that she was considered one of the underworlds top beauties alongside Serafall and Grayfia. She was also the head of the Belphegor house. Anyway, this is a fanfic and an AU world, so you can't expect things to be the same right } 

She was the sister of the head of the Belphegor family and was the leader of the squadron which Venelana was part of. She was a mentor and a friend to Venelana and was one of the reasons she was able to gain closure from her mother's death.

She couldn't help but respect the woman and developed a deep bond with her as they fought countless battles. 

She saw Celestina as someone whom she could leave her back to, and she envisioned a future where she could spend more time with her. It was all supposed to go well, and the battlefield they were in was pretty safe due to their strength which meant their lives wouldn't be in any danger. 

Or at least things were supposed to be like that....

.....

" P-Please ....." Venelana's voice was hoarse as she had been screaming for hours, tears continued to flow down her eyes which were filled with despair. She wanted to close her eyes to not see the heartwrenching sight in front of her but the sounds she heard were even more unbearable. 

She tried begging them to stop, but it fell on deaf ears, her heart felt like it was cut into pieces as she watched her best friend being toyed with by a bunch of people who should be their allies.

She couldn't do anything as two people held her down while the others took turns raping Celestina who had a dead look in her eyes, her glassy eyes reflected no emotions, but Venelana preferred this to the lascivious and demeaning look she had on her face when they used drugs on her. 

She had to watch as the woman she respected the most was demeaned in all sorts of ways while she had an excited smile on her face, but the drugs faded away and what was left was this. 

Venelana knew her fate would be the same after they were done with Celestina, but she didn't care anymore as she also felt dead inside and wanted nothing more than to just end it all.....
